Travelling alone again today and probably a good decision with there being plenty of climbing and oodles of mud along the thirteen plus miles and five hours.  This did though enable Dee to drop me off at the start and meet me at the end of the walk.

Leaving Aberdaron at 9.30am with still a chill in the air, the first couple of miles were through farmland before reaching the first of several huge climbs.  This meant though the views were incredible in both directions and the bright clear weather helped despite the rather strong winds!

Other than shedloads of mud today I also spotted a few flowers including this magnificent display of Bluebells, in a woodland with a stream running alongside, spectacular!!

Interesting seeing various signs along the way and this one covers off most jobs including ‘knapsack spraying’ …. I have absolutely no idea?

Normally I travel light, meaning no bags / food etc but today I had a change of plan and it’s fair to say that eating lunch with this view was pretty special.

Porth Neigwl is referred to in English as Hell’s Mouth, reflecting the dangers to shipping along this part of the coast.  One of the most famous disasters being the sinking of ‘The Twelve Apostles’ which caused a lot of comment!

Tomorrow we complete the Llyn Peninsula with a walk from Porth Neigwl to Abersoch and I’m being joined by Dee and our good friend ‘Rose The Younger’ aka David Rose, so it’ll be nice to have company and we might, just might, have a beer on arriving back in town.
